Immunoelectron microscopy of mammary gland tissue from lactating rats investigating potential structural interactions between mature lipid droplets, as indicated by peripheral labeling with adipophilin (smaller gold particles) and elements of the trans-Golgi network, identified by TGN38 (a transmembrane trans-Golgi protein) staining (larger gold particles). Note that trans‐Golgi cisternae in lactating mammary cells contain large amounts of casein and other milk proteins and are grossly expanded due to the osmolarity of the secreted fluid. ... : Preparation: cryostat-sectioned tissue; formaldehyde fixed tissue; embedded tissue; methylcellulose embedded Relation to intact cell: sectioned tissue Item type: recorded image Imaging mode: transmission electron microscopy (TEM); illumination by electrons; detection of electrons Parameter imaged: electron density Source of contrast: differences in adsorption or binding of stain; distribution of a specific protein Visualization methods: gold; uranyl salt; primary antibody plus labeled secondary antibody Processing history: unprocessed raw data Data qualification: Raw;spatialmeasurements;intensitiesquantitation ...
